The CRM-Fields-PIMS prize is intended to be the premier mathematics prize in Canada. The winner receives a monetary award, and an invitation to present a lecture at each institute during the semester when the award is announced. The prize recognizes exceptional achievement in the mathematical sciences. It was established by the Centre de recherches mathematiques and the Fields Institute as the CRM-Fields prize in 1994.
